Ingredients & Substitutions
Ripe mangoes are key here—look for ones that yield slightly when you press them. If you can’t find fresh chili peppers, a dash of chili powder can work too, but fresh is always best for that bright flavor. Adjust the amount of chili to your liking; I love a little heat, but you do you!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my mangoes at room temperature until they're perfectly ripe; it brings out their sweetness.
- •You can blend in some coconut water for an even more tropical vibe.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I might add a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.
- •Sometimes I swap the mango for pineapple for a different tropical twist.
